    Re: BREAKING NEWS

    So, if they do sign Miller for only one year, what is the plan? Is he for rent and they still believe in Bayless? I'm not sure I see the long term benefits of this deal--even though I like it. After 2-3 more years, we will still have an older Blake and Bayless. I assume they think Bayless will work out, or they will have another opportunity during that time to lure a high-level PG.

    I still don't see it. Cleared my cache, and it's still not there.

    Looks like Philly.com changed that initial article.

    Oh. I like that. That's reasonable. I'm hoping the third year is a team-option.

    Exactly. They changed it. The 2nd article linked to said something slightly different but now its saying the improvement part.

    Re: BREAKING NEWS

    Well we will know by how they handle it. If they move Blake and keep Bayless, then I see that as saying they think that Bayless will come along, but it is going to take a few years to get him there. If they send Bayless packing, they don't have the patience for it. If they don't send any of them packing, then were going to have playing time issues that could spill over to Rudy as well.

    Or, keep Blake as #2 and Bayless as #3.

    Very unlikely, unless, we want him as Miller's back up?

    I doubt that.

    Re: BREAKING NEWS

    Maybe he can make an offer? I'm guessing that with his salary he's looking to upgrade from a 450k house. :D

    BlazersBlog (aka the guy who runs the blog on OLive) says Miller has signed an offer.

    CIP on 95.5 says offer is 3 years, $20mil
